Description
The "Bush Glow" cultivar of Anigozanthos, better known as Kangaroo Paw, stands out as a remarkable small shrub, bearing striking flowers of yellow and lime-green, delicately tinged with orange. Hailing from Western Australia, this captivating plant is ideal for gardeners seeking an infusion of colour, and it is known to attract a plethora of nectar-loving birds. Suitable for both garden beds and containers, "Bush Glow" makes a vivid statement, serving as an eye-catching feature in any space.
When situating "Bush Glow" in the ground, it's advisable to enrich poor, sandy soils with organic compost or aged manure to boost its vigour. This sun-loving plant requires consistent watering, with a heightened need during warmer periods. As Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring) approaches, a native plant fertiliser will enhance its vibrant blooms. Come Djeran (Autumn), consider giving "Bush Glow" a hard prune right to the ground, ensuring its rejuvenation and continued hardiness once firmly established.
